Thanks. I guess the worst to me is that even for those of us doing "well"...it's such an incredibly delicate balance. It doesn't take much to completely throw you off and set you back...a stray breeze...someone bumping you or stepping on your foot...road construction outside your house...someone driving by with the bass way up on their stereo. So many things we can't control that wreak havoc on our lives.

I'm very lucky I wasn't hurt much worse in my fall...I try to keep that in mind. I've had some really rotten luck this year in that I've had a bunch of accidents and medical issues...but on the flip side each and every one of them could have been so much worse and I am lucky for that. This will pass and eventually I have faith that things will even out again with the RSD and the sleep. But this really brings home to me the importance of getting sleep to manage the pain because it is darn near impossible to manage without rest...
